A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
荒谬
ridiculous
I'm a dad now and whatever I'm doing in life I usually put a lot of effort into it - usually too much effort, so it kind of comes off ridiculous at times.
我现在是一个父亲了,无论我在生活中做什么,我通常都会付出很多努力——通常是太多的努力,所以有时会显得有些可笑。

Ridiculous yachts and private planes and big limousines won't make people enjoy life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa - and it's about getting a balance.
可笑的游艇、私人飞机和豪华轿车不会让人们更享受生活,而且会向为他们工作的人发出可怕的信息。如果把这笔钱花在非洲,情况会好得多——这是为了获得平衡。
